Welcome to Novels WikiProject
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WikiProject_Novels_announcements there. While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox   .
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  08:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Lolita
''I'm going for the slash and burn of the plot summary here, which is going to be hard as so many loving fans of the work added so much detail!! I'm planning to leave the first para intact, the second para as the story up until HH tells Lo her mother is dead (currently paras 2-4), third para on their travels and Quilty (currently 5 & 6), and then a short paragraph on HH's visit to Lo and the killing of Quilty (7 & 8) considerable~powers (talk) 16:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)''

''@ ward3001- I didn't mean to get in an edit war with you there- my internet connection is ridiculously slow so I assumed it hadn't saved the edits when they changed back so quickly!! Does anyone else have an opinion on how to shorten this beast down? considerable~powers (talk) 16:45, 25 August 2008 (UTC)''


 * I have written very little on this article, so I have nothing personally invested in it. But I don't think the plot summary has too much detail. It's fairly typical for a plot summary of a major novel. By the way, if you were not signed in and made this edit, no offense but the previous version was much better written. Perhaps this was not an adequate sample of your work. Anyone can edit, so feel free to give it a try. But also remember, "any writing you contribute can be mercilessly edited". If I disagree, I may revert. But I will not edit war. If you and I disagree too much, we'll see what others think on the talk page. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 17:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)


 * By the way Considerable powers, please use the preview button to proofread before saving the page. I can already see some grammatical and structural errors in your edits. And that's fine; no one writes perfectly, especially on the first draft. But if you use the preview button, you'll avoid clogging up the page history with just a few edits, and you'll save the rest of us the trouble of having to fix your errors. Thanks.
